Instructions
- Lay out a wax paper sheet and roll out the clay about 1/4 inch thick. Continuously flip the clay to ensure a smooth surface on both sides.
- Use the bunny cookie cutter to create the bunny shape. To create a hole to thread the twine, use a straw or cake pop stick towards the top of the cutout. Allow the tags to dry fully for 24-48 hours.
- Paint the tag with white paint and again allow it to dry completely.
- Paint the wood beads.
- Thread the twine through the clay bunny and tie a knot towards the top of the hole.
- Add wood beads, alternating colors or sizes depending on your preferred style. Once all beads are attached, tie another knot towards the top of the last bead to keep them in place.
- Open a new canvas in Design Space. Add a text box and create the name to add to the tag. Sizing will depend on the length of the name. Use any style font that you like.
- Then click “Make it” on the top right of the screen. Follow the prompts to choose mat or matless cutting and material type. Load mat or vinyl and cut out the name.
- When cutting is complete, unload and weed the vinyl leaving the name.
- Use transfer tape to adhere the name to the Easter basket tag.
- Tie the basket tag on your Easter basket.
